Bug#959221: [hurd] install UI slow to point of unusable, even text UI for me too

I have to admit I had never noticed that bug report, I don't know why.

That's odd, I had never seen such behavior, be it in virtual environment
or bare metal. Since you mention disk partitioning, I would guess a bad
interaction between the ahci disk driver and the disk device. Nothing I
can work on personally since on my systems I don't have the issue. Are
there timeout logs being printed?

If you got to the second console with ctrl-alt-f2, and run there

ps | grep R

which processus show up?
